You

You all hold a knife

It's blade sharp and bright

You stab with it soft and clean

Blood stains shining in the light


Only I can see

Your giggling faces

Your dangerous pity

That comes from safe places


My wounds are bleeding

They're red just like you

Oh, how I wish

You could see them too


You pray to your God

You pray to your Father

You tell him to save me

But go no farther


You look at me strangely

Disgust in your eyes

You can't seem to tell

That I'm saying my goodbyes


My soul is black

My heart is burning red

My body is broken

There are voices in my head


They're screaming at me

And I'm screaming at you

You're blocking your ears

Your eyes are shut too


You make me act cold

You made me feel fire

You act innocent

As if it wasn't of your desire


You want plastic

I want fire

You say I'm pretending

That I'm just a liar


I see your darkness

In this apparent light

I'd much rather embrace

The darkness of the night
